Hello,
I came across the book 'The Doctrine of Pure Prophecy' by Rabbi Shem Tov Gefen. Could the Rabbi leaf through it a bit and share his impression of the book and of the above-mentioned author?
Thanks
Answer
This is one essay out of three in his book Dimensions, Prophecy, and Earthiness. He has original and interesting ideas, but his archaic language makes it very difficult to read.
This book is very familiar to the Rabbi, and he has quoted it more than once, both in writing and orally.
